Low-cost 3D printer is easier to use

Paul Boughton
Z Corporation is launching what it claims is the world's first automated, monochrome 3D printer and the company's most affordable automated 3D printer to date, making advanced rapid prototyping technology more accessible to mainstream engineers. Like other Z Corporation 3D printers, the ZPrinter 350 converts 3D data into physical models much as desktop printers convert word-processing files into physical documents.
 
Unlike other monochrome 3D printers, the ZPrinter 350 delivers high-end functionality such as: automatic material loading; snap-in binder cartridges; integrated recycling of unused build material; self-monitoring operation; control from both the desktop and printer; 20mm/hour vertical build speed; 203 x 254 x 203mm build envelope; 300 x 450 dpi resolution; and 'office-safe' build materials, aggressive dust-control, and zero liquid waste.
 
Available today, the ZPrinter 350 is aimed at organisations seeking the most affordable way to produce single-colour prototypes fast, in any office environment.
 
Z Corporation CEO John Kawola states: "The ZPrinter 350 gives a lot more engineering departments access to advanced 3D printing technology at a value price. ZPrinting is going to improve the quality of their products, speed their development processes and, ultimately, help the bottom line."
 
The ZPrinter 350 is available today through Z Corporation's worldwide reseller network for $25,900 USD.
